It was a lovely day and we enjoyed a pleasant lunch in the cafe and later had a cuppa and a cake! Tea was from the chippy to complete a good "day off."

Friday - nipped down to work to collect my office keys from my oppo Dean who will be missing on Monday. Then home via ASDA where we did the weekend shop (usually a Saturday morning chore but whilst we were out and about....)

Saturday morning we walked down through Graves Park to the local shopping area at Woodseats where we picked up a couple of things missed from the previous days supermarket visit. The walk was probably a bit ambitious, given the Duchess' dodgy hip and a temperature somewhere in the upper 20's C! Since we both have bus passes - we hopped a bus back to the top of the hill.

Did absolutely nothing for the rest of the day - it was just too hot to go out in the garden and to be honest - I just couldn't be bothered. So I did something I haven't done for ages and simply sat in the armchair watching every ball of the 2nd Test Match - England v Bangladesh.

Back to work in the morning but I'll be late in because the Duchess has a hospital appointment at 9:15 a.m. to meet a consultant about her "hip situation." I'm going with her of course.

So - the blog is up to date - (What a very mundane life I lead!) and since the Archers Omnibus edition is finished - I'm off to do something more constructive.... perhaps!
